On Saturday, February 28, Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle earned his 1,000th career win. The historic milestone came during the 2026 Bruce Bolt College Classic at Daikin Park in Houston as the Longhorns defeated the Baylor Bears 5-2.
Schlossnagle is the seventh-winningest coach in college baseball history.
A look at Schlossnagle and his college baseball coaching career
After two seasons with the UNLV Rebels in 2002 and 2003, Schlossnagle took over as the head coach of the TCU Horned Frogs in 2004. He would remain with the Horned Frogs for 18 seasons.
During his time with TCU, Schlossnagle amassed 734 wins. He won three Big 12 regular-season titles and three Big 12 Tournament titles. He took TCU to the NCAA Tournament eight times.
During those eight trips to the NCAA Tournament, the Horned Frogs made it to the College World Series five times. Four of those trips to the College World Series came in four straight seasons from 2014-2017.
In 2022, Schlossnagle left TCU to coach the Texas A&M Aggies. In three seasons in College Station, he won 135 games and went to the College World Series in 2022 and 2024. The Aggies were the national runners-up in 2024.
In 2025, Schlossnagle became the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. In his first season in Austin, the Longhorns posted a 44-14 overall record and a 22-8 conference record. Texas also won the 2025 Southeastern Conference (SEC) regular-season title. They were also the number two national seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Thus far in 2026, the Longhorns have a 10-0 overall record after their win over Baylor in Houston.
